Sensor designs with double spiral waveguide geometries providing increased sensing path length while maintaining a compact sensor footprint. (a) MZI sensor with 2 mm sensing path length contained within a circular 150  m diameter area. (b) Spiral cavity ring resonator design with 1.3 mm sensor length contained within a circular 110  m diameter area.
